my decisions. Something else I noticed about my blog posts was my evidence was backed by morality concepts and very few, if any, fallacious reasoning. For example, at the beginning of class when we were required to take the “Should You Kill the Fat Man” quiz, my reasoning was simply spurt of the moment thinking.
